Sugarloaf to Garvin Heights Trail

Sugarloaf to Garvin Heights Trail is a 2 mile lightly trafficked out and back trail located near Winona, Minnesota that features a lake and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is best used from March until October.

Be ready for a fun hike! We usually start at the base of Sugar Loaf, hike up to Sugar Loaf (climb as far as we can up the actual rock, but be careful. People have died by falling), then continuing towards Garvin Heights Road. It definitely takes more than an hour if you want to take your time with photos and exploring. There are a few forks in the trail, but just note that some of the trails on the southern side lead into people's backyards. There is a fantastic plateau where you can see Sugar Loaf perfectly and is a great spot for watching the sunrise!
